The Golden Passer Angelfish

Meet El Dorado, the incredible amelanistic Holacanthus passer. This angelfish is virtually devoid of melanin, leaving it with only the brilliant golden coloration of its carotenoid pigments.

An one-of-a-kind aberrant Holacanthus passer

The adult specimen is unlikely a Clarion x Passer hybrid because it was collected well north of where Clarions exist. The shape and pattern on its body (namely its broad white stripe) also point to this being an amelanistic Passer Angelfish.
